no frigate like a book

A stumbled across this wonderful tumblr:
a collection dedicated to people reading,
Awesome People Reading.
It makes me excited about my overdue trip to my public library,
one of my favorite Saturday hang outs.
And it makes me feel less guilty of my expanding book shelves,
despite my supposed moratorium on book-buying until after comps.

Hope you get some good internal browsing in this weekend!


"A Book" by Emily Dickinson

There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
